Hubbard rushed seven times for 33 yards and brought in four of five targets for 27 yards in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Hubbard did well with the scant opportunities he received, but his touches were limited in a game that was already out of reach by halftime. The veteran back's rush attempts and rushing yardage were both season lows, and the downturn came on the heels of back-to-back 120-plus-yard efforts for Hubbard on the ground. The 2021 fourth-round pick won't have to wait long to atone for Sunday's quiet game, as the Panthers face off with the Packers on Thursday in a Week 8 road matchup.

Gainwell rushed 14 times for 88 yards and returned one kickoff for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Gainwell saw his biggest rushing workload of the season by far as the Buccaneers had the luxury of grinding things out on the ground after establishing a 33-6 halftime lead. The versatile veteran went without a target for the first time all season, but Tampa Bay wasn't forced into many third-and-long situations that would have required Gainwell's services in that capacity. Despite the breakout effort, it's worth keeping in mind Gainwell is typically ticketed for a much more modest role.

Judkins carried the ball 17 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans. He also caught his only target for eight yards.

Making his return from an ankle injury that sidelined him in Week 6, Judkins put together his best performance of the season, punching in red-zone TDs from five yards out in the first quarter and six yards out in the second. His 96 rushing yards and 104 scrimmage yards were also season highs. Judkins will try to keeping rolling in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Mason carried the ball 15 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He failed to catch either of his two targets.

Making his return from an IR stint due to a thumb injury that had kept him out since Week 1, Mason ended up leading the Vikings in rushing yards after Aaron Jones aggravated a knee injury and spotted in and out of the lineup. Jones has been getting a hefty workload while Mason was sidelined, but their roles could be reversed in Week 8 against the Lions.

McCaffrey rushed seven times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 61 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

McCaffrey missed the entirety of the second quarter while dealing with a thigh injury, and although he was able to return and play the second half, he finished with his fewest rush attempts and rushing yardage totals of the season. McCaffrey did punch in a one-yard touchdown run that capped off the opening possession of the game, and his work as a receiver, which included a season-high receiving yardage tally, helped prop up his final fantasy line as well. McCaffrey will now have the benefit of the Week 8 bye to heal up before returning to action in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Robinson rushed 20 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 59 yards in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

As his rushing line suggests, Robinson was mostly held in check by a stout 49ers front. The All-Pro running back's longest run of the day went for only 12 yards, but Robinson did find a way to make up some of the fantasy production as a receiver. Robinson finished tied for second in receptions and targets while checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards for the Falcons on the afternoon, and his numbers in the first two categories were his second highest of the campaign. Robinson has seen a downturn in opportunity and production since rushing for 339 combined yards in Weeks 3 and 4, and he'll look to reverse that trend in a Week 8 road matchup against a tough Buccaneers run defense.

Henry rushed 17 times for 45 yards and brought in one of two target for four yards in the Ravens' 35-13 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Henry averaged below 3.5 yards per carry for the second consecutive game against a divisional opponent, and Sunday's inefficiency also dropped his season per-carry average under 4.0 (3.9). The bruising back does have seven rushing touchdowns on the season, but none have come within the last three games. Henry will look to bounce back to his usual level of production in a Week 8 road showdown against an improved Bills run defense next Sunday.

Marks rushed 19 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

Mark remained busy in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), handling 20 touches while no other running back got a touch for the Texans. Over the last three games, the first of which Montgomery left early and the last two of which he missed, Marks has recorded 247 scrimmage yards on 56 touches. Marks missed some action in the second half Sunday due to a leg injury but returned to the game. Houston's Week 8 bye will give both Marks and Montgomery a chance to heal up, and Houston would likely return to a backfield platoon in Week 9 against the Chargers if Montgomery's ready to play.

Irving rushed 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in one of two targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that stayed with Tampa Bay.

Irving put together a vintage performance on the ground on his way to his second 100-yard effort of the season, both which have come within the last three games. The versatile back was surprisingly involved sparsely as a pass catcher, but Irving helped stake the Buccaneers to a commanding lead with four- and one-yard touchdown runs in the first half. It marked Irving's first multi-TD day of the season on the ground, and he'll next take aim at the defense of another divisional opponent in the Falcons at home next Sunday.

Skattebo told Dan Graziano of ESPN after Sunday's 27-21 overtime win at Houston that he "felt something in his hamstring" during his final carry of the game.

One week removed from not receiving a touch while playing six offensive snaps in a loss to the Saints, Skattebo was back in the saddle in the Giants backfield this Sunday, turning 17 rushes into 124 yards and one touchdown and gathering in his only target for minus-3 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) combined for 15 touches in Week 7. Both Skattebo and Tracy emerged from this contest with health concerns, but with a Week 8 bye on tap for New York, both players will have time to rest up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 8 in Philadelphia.
